Learning through Design and Technology

Principles of Designing Educational Technology

1. Materials are specifically designed for planned purposes.2. Instructional materials are tools designed for teachers as well as for students/learners. 3. The use of content in the material is planned. 4. Instruction will give in detail the use of content. A. Instructional materials specify B. The content to be learned C. The techniques of presentation, practice and use of the content. The mode of teaching associated with those techniques

Lesson Plan is a written guide for trainer’s plans in order to achieve the intended learning outcomes.

STEPS IN DESIGNING ICT- BASED INSTRUCTION

1.The Planning Phase. This phase is motivated by a felt need to produce an instructional material. To insure a better direction, objectives must also be clearly stated, and for whom the materials are intended.

Knowing the Learners insures that there is a match between the nature and characteristics of the learners/ students and the content, the methodology and the instructional materials.

General Characteristics Entry Skills Learning Styles

Stating Objectives. This is stating the intent of the instruction. This may come into form of knowledge, skills, habits and attitudes which the students will possess upon completion of the learning cycle.

Roles of Instructional Objectives

Provide directions for the instructional process

Communicate instructional intent to students, parents, administrators and others

Provide a basis for student learning.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES -are necessary to communicate to students what they are

expected to do and what level of performance should they exhibit.

Components of a well-stated instructional objective. An instructional objective is well stated if it contains all the three components like behavior, condition and performance standards. All of the m are inseparable and they are related with one another.

1. Behavior Component contains the specific actions that a student is expected to show or demonstrate

2. Condition Component describes the circumstances at which the behavior has been developed or provoked

3. Performance condition is the end result of teaching and learning activity

D. Analyzing the Content. The teacher must be familiar with the characteristics of the subject matter or the topics which instructional materials whether hi-tech or the lo-tech in nature will serve.

E. Selecting the methods, approaches or strategies. This is the phase where the teacher should look into the harmonious relationship between the methodology, approaches or strategies chosen, the specific objectives and the content.

F. Matching Pedagogy and ICT. The main issue is putting pedagogy and ICT together and this needs the presence of a technology enabled environment so that ICT-based activities can be carried out successfully.
